I am proud to inform everyone who is reading this article that MY
students, 6th grade KSPS clovers, are very excited and interested in our
new program called the CSC (Caring School Community) through this
program they get to know their own problems and they speak out for their
problems and not "hide behind their fingers", they also try to find
solutions through LISTENING and SHARING. Groupwork and pairwork is the
most important characteristic of this program!

On weekly basis, grade 6 students will participate in “Youth Talks” sessions in the playground to participate in team building games. Grade 6 students were divided into three groups. Each group formed a circle and held each other’s hands to form a “Human Knot”. Groups communicated to figure out how to untangle the knot without ever letting go of each other’s hands. During this activity students expressed effective communication skills among members as well as problem solving abilities. Students concluded that if we meet together and hold each other’s hands tightly and work for a better society, we will succeed to improve the quality of life in our country. Team Work is a must.

On Tuesday 17 December 2013 KSPS little clovers got the chance to visit the book fair at Biel. The students were swimming in an ocean full of books, and they not only got the chance to buy books, but they were lucky enough to listen to live stories that widened their imagination and took them to far places where dreams belong.

Our young clovers started supporting Blue Gold from
the day the program was launched. They ran in Beirut Marathon on Sunday
November 10th to support Blue Gold.

Since KSPS students knew that water is indeed our most valuable
national resource ,more valuable than oil and gas, they launched an awareness
campaign to collect votes for Blue Gold. They encouraged their
teachers, friends, and family members to vote for Blue Gold.

What is Blue Gold Lebanon?

Blue Gold is an innovative, visionary 5-year plan
that will increase the amount of available water to 500 million m3 as of 2020
and 1 billion m3 by 2030.

Throughout the last week, and during the science sessions,
students were exposed to several teaching and learning habits
that aimed to sum up all the first term lessons. Interactive
learning was an objective during the Science session.

Various hands-on activities, games, visual aids, and songs
were integrated in the science classroom.

While learning about cells, students conducted different
experiments to learn about “cell parts, cell types, function of cells,
comparing and contrasting between cells”. They made posters, used the
microscope, and modeled cells using jelo (cytoplasm), oranges, jelly beans and
apples as the cells’ organelles.

Moreover, students were exposed to various science activities
were music was integrated with the subject matter. This helped in engaging
students in the learning process and making connections with their daily lives.You can check the
following website if you would like to listen to science songs: www.scitunes.com

Finally, students watched interactive flipcharts on daily basis.

Our classes are indeed full of excitement;
and this leads us to the conclusion that everything learners feel and
experience can reach their hearts and fortify their knowledge.
